Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of ICT on the teaching and
learning of Kinematics graphs among SHS 2 science students of Saint Roses Senior
High school, Akwatia-Eastern Region. A descriptive survey design using quantitative
approach was employed in this study. Purposive and simple random sampling
procedures were used on fifty-four (54) participants. Structured questionnaire was the
instrument used to collect data in this study. Descriptive statistics tools (frequency
and per cent) were used to analyze the data gathered and the findings were that;
Physics teachers at St. Roses SHS used more of the lecture method of teaching as
compared to the inquiry method. Also, the use of ICT in teaching Kinematics graphs
at St. Roses SHS, Akwatia enabled Physics students to have a better understanding of
the topic. It was concluded that teaching and learning of Kinematics graphs by
Physics teachers at St. Roses Senior High School was based mostly on the chalk-and talk method of teaching. Again, the use of ICT in teaching Kinematics graphs enabled
students to have a better understanding of the topic. It was recommended that in service training should be organized for Physics teachers at St. Roses Senior High
School for them to realize the need to use ICT more in the teaching and learning
process. Likewise, the school management should ensure that the ICT laboratory is
well equipped in order to encourage Physics teachers to use it more in teaching and
learning
